South Texas Introduction
by artsteel inwow, amazing to read all these experiences.. luckily, i walked away from them 20 some odd years ago because i wasn't making it financially and decided to pursue higher education.
best decision i ever made.
i was able to finish my degrees and i still shake my head at how these people really believe, really mind boggling.. most family members and friends i knew stopped talking to me, and up to this day i'm glad they did.. .

HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?
by stuckinarut2 inwe're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".
in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".
so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

Their god puts it into their hearts ...just like he will do to the leaders of he world to turn on world religion prior to the GT!!
JuanV2: An imperfect god ,using imperfect men ,to do an imperfect job, on other imperfect men ,according to an imperfect book , with imperfect recordings by more imperfect men ,which imperfection, they imperfectly feel ,are perfectly perfecting!!
They have wireless connected- and a sattellite from Plaides ( isn't that where they once claimed was the abode of their diety?) transmits divine intentions straight into -their behinds! That's because they have more shit in their heads than their asses!!

Translating and deciphering witness expressions.
by stuckinarut2 ini wanted to start a thread with correct explanations of what witnesses really mean when they say stuff... please add to it!.
"we missed you at the last meeting" = "where were you?

The brothers are here to cut that maple tree that you were so concerned about in your garden= they want free lunch and a handout.
Could you accompany Bro. Zeb and his wife on field service on Monday?= He is a special pioneer and needs gas money and free groceries.
Bro Gross' is a fantastic speaker = i've gotta kiss his ass -I want tomake MS and I want to date his daughter. He has his own business and is loaded.
You have a lot of potential= You aren't doing enough FS.

The former is the fountainhead of all knowledge -the latter-one for the shoulder and the other for the crop of the supreme 'teacher and the greatest man who ever lived'. In fact so forceful was his teachings that all have been thrown out and we have 7 of the wisest men on earth leading 8 million through the corridors of new intellectualism ! -

When they ask in exasperation; "But what if it IS the Truth?"
by nicolaou inthis is how robert ingersoll responded to a fundamentalist's question, 'what if it's the truth?
' back in the 19th century.
"why," they say to me, "suppose all this should turn out to be true, and you should come to the day of judgement and find all these things to be true.

Being "raised in the truth" a blessing?
by What is Truth? inhow might you respond to the following survey?.
i apologize if this was already posted about, it is just such a poignant issue i wanted to share it.. .
being raised in the truth being raised a witness-perhaps "from infancy," like timothy-is a great blessing.

21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.
by James Jack ini was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

Ony J.W.'s could do this and not question what is going on
by Sour Grapes inat the meeting today several elders commented about the wonderful program that they attended yesterday on the new kingdom hall designs.
they said that the new halls are going to be so beautiful with lots of windows and glass panels and that the lights will be kept on in the lobby 24/7 so that you can see into the hall at night and that thousands of these halls must be built.
then five minutes later they are talking about how close the end is and that we will be meeting in basements in the near future.

They are taking a line from the middle ages- monuments of modern day magnificence .Imagery through the power of their god's holy spirit - a testament to the awesomeness of a divine construct which no human can destroy. Munificence of J and the effulgence( read 'new l.e.d') that illumnates,educates and spiritualizes the villagers. Emanating from the 7 trumpeting, collective ,raunchy rumps of a benevolent, faithful and discreet slave.
